Finally, some road sense!
Enjoy our brand new traffic rules......
Kindly note that the traffic fines will be as follows:
Speed Radar: Dhs. 500 instead of Dhs. 200/-
Cutting a red sign: Dhs.1, 500/- instead of Dhs. 500/- for the first time & 3 days in jail for the second time.
For all who drive in Dubai, All Dubai except Jumeirah:
All Dubai radars have been reset to catch if your speed is 10 Km/Hr above the street speed. In other words, If the speed limit is 100 Km/Hr (like beginning of SHK Zayed Road) you shouldn't exceed 109 Km/Hr. [Before was: if the road speed limit is 100 Km/Hr, the radar only was to catch if the speed is 120 Km/Hr]
Jumeirah (Main Roads only)
The speed limit is 80 Km/Hr and radar will catch on 81 Km/Hr
Jumeirah (Suburb Roads only):
There are hidden radar cameras. The speed limit in these villas areas is 40 Km/Hr. YES it is only 40 Km/Hr

Subject: Crossing the Yellow Line (Driving on the shoulder of a street)
The Traffic Division greets you and wishes to draw your attention to a serious traffic offence committed by drivers which is driving on the shoulder of streets (crossing the yellow line). As this is a grave offence and leads to reckless endangerment of the lives of other drivers as well as being a grave breach of Traffic Law, the Dubai Police has decided to take firm action to stop this kind of Offence which is as follows:
1. Impounding of vehicle for six months.
2. Applying the laws concerning fines and ancillaries thereof.
3. For those working as drivers, they must be deported and proof of deportation must be provided.
4. Six black points are given.
5. The driving license shall be withdrawn in case of committing this offence twice, and shall not be returned to its owner until he/she passes a difficult test and pays a fine of 3000 Dirhams.
6. After all of the above procedures have been completed, the vehicle will be released.
Therefore, please pass this information to all of your colleagues and acquaintances as well as drivers working for you or your company in participation of our campaign to clarify this issue and to emphasize that any offence will not be tolerated and the above penalties shall be applied to all offenders to preserve the safety of all drivers and users of the road, as well as to uphold the law.
Less road accidents from now on, me thinks!
